Lupin III or the 3rd

So is it Lupin the 3rd or Lupin III? Title is inconsistant with text. RickK 23:25, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)

This says Lupin III. I will move it. WhisperToMe 00:56, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Pioneer's promotional stuff usually has "Lupin the 3rd", which is why I chose that particular name when I created the page. - Furrykef 19:06, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Japanese original won't be much help in this case, since they actually use a kanji/hiragana combination that means: "the third".

Actually it's just kanji. - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:35, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How did it inspire Cowboy Bebop? O.o

The similarity of some of the characters. Lupin -> Spike; Jigen -> Jet; Fujiko -> Faye. - furrykef (Talk at me) 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The right and official names are:

ルパン (Rupan) 三 (third) 世 (generation)

Lupin the 3rd (as in the official japanese site: http://www.lupin-3rd.net/)

Lupin the third (as in the official Lupin/VAP site: http://www.vap.co.jp/lupin/)

Lupin III is unofficial but OK, because III is the roman/latin number for third
Arsene is wrong, because it refers to the french Arsene Lupin; the japanese Lupin, as in website above, doesn't have the name Arsene or Arsenio.

Is there any official source for what his first name really is? It's a Western convention that order to give someone the III or "the third" suffix, his name must be identical in all respects--first, middle, and last--as his ancestors. --Robotech_Master 19:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure official sources have used the name Arsene Lupin at one point or another, although I don't have a specific source in mind. In any case it's obvious that "Lupin" is a surname and, being the grandson of Arsene Lupin, he would thus be Arsene Lupin III. That an official website or two may have omitted his first name is irrelevant; it doesn't mean it isn't there. It's probable that they just didn't mention it because he's almost never called "Arsene" anyway. - furrykef (Talk at me) 22:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think, if Lupin III is the grandson of Arsene Lupin, his complete name and surname (probably) is: Arsene Lupin III. But Monkey Punch never used the name Arsene, but only ルパン三世 in his manga. So I think Lupin III doesn't have a name; Lupin III probably is a pseudonym and the real name and surname are unknown. Here some official site, and no one of this report the name Arsene: http://www.tms-e.com/on_air/lupin/ http://www.futabasha.co.jp/?author=35009 http://www.lupinofficial.com http://www.lupinthe3rd.com http://www.toho-a-park.com/video/new/lupin/d_index.html -- 80.181.80.223 08:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

nationality

Daisuke Jigen is japanese.--Drachen 21:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a source? I'm tired of everybody changing around who is what nationality without sources. - furrykef (Talk at me) 01:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Music

Would it be useful to add information about the music in the show? I always thought it played a significant role in setting the tone of each scene. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by OnionRingOfDoom (talk • contribs) .
